Metallica Death Magnetic

I know that the band’s name is somewhat hard to pronounce (I even heard one time my classmate said, “Cheveches” and I was like, what?”) but really, it’s just pronounced as “Churches”, they’re just probably bad in the spelling department!
But thankfully enough, their music is nowhere near as bad …
